Mike Horn : Adventure with a Cause

http://www.mikehorn.com/3dglobe/pangaea.html

In 2008, Horn began another unique adventure -- one that will take four years to complete. Instead of trying to achieve more personal goals, Horn is now dedicated to sharing his knowledge and experience with others.

The Pangaea Expedition
He calls his latest expedition the "Pangaea Expedition," with "Pangaea" standing for "a Pan Global Adventure for Enviromental Action." By the end of this expedition, Horn will have traveled 100,000 km and crossed all of the continents and oceans. But this time he won't be going alone.

He's choosing young people from around the world, aged 13 to 20, to accompany him. Twelve young people at a time will participate in one of 12 different projects, ranging from studying glaciers to treating water sources. The journey will take place onboard Horn's 35-meter sailboat, the Pangaea, which will become a floating science class. Along with a team of scientist, Horn plans to teach the young explorers about protecting and preserving the earth. In perhaps his most important expedition, Horn will pass down his passion for Earth's wonders to the next generation.
